[The watery flood destroy'd]

As the days of Noe were, so shall also, &c. —xxiv. 37.

The watery flood destroy'd
A world that knew not God:
But an heavier plague to come
Our flagitious crimes require;
Earth shall soon receive her doom,
Deluged with a flood of fire.
Thy judgment is reveal'd,
The time from man conceal'd;
Yet His saints the signs shall know
When their Lord will soon appear,
When the floods of sin o'erflow,
Then they find that Christ is near.
